Data Manager Base Module

Analysis Sessions and External Storage Projects

Since SHM requires same type of analysis repeatedly made on multiple sets of data recorded over a long period, the ARTeMIS Modal project type is divided into multiple files:

• A master project file with usual extension “.AMP” that stores all information common to the project
• A set of “.AMPS” files each containing the raw and processed data and results related to a specific measurement file

All the information related to a specific measurement file is termed an Analysis Session and is the information store in the “.AMPS” files. These can be rather large files, which is why it is possible to store these in any desired external storage location on the network. For this reason, the project type is called External Storage project.

The Data Manager Base Module is the module that administrates the use of external storage. There are different licenses available depending on how many channels should be analyzed simultaneously. The different maximum channels count support are 16, 32, 64 and unlimited.

Only a single instance of the Data Manager Base Module is required to enable ARTeMIS Modal Pro to use all the supported analysis modules such as Modal Parameter History module and Damage Detection module.

The complete list of features of the Data Manager Base Module is:

• Support for Multiple Analysis Sessions and easy navigation using the Analysis Session List
• External storage with saving and loading of measurements and results for each Analysis Session
• Master Session definition, allowing automatic processing across all Analysis Sessions using settings of the Master Session
• Support for Microsoft SQL database synchronization
• Notification (Alert) services to multiple recipients through e-mail and SMS, and visual popup and sound alerts on computer running the software
• Enabling the Analysis History task presenting the historical results of the different analyses made in the project

• An SHM Configuration dialog for specifying input and output for the external storage project. Dialog includes automatic file import and results file export. Database configuration and selection of synchronization items. Automatic reporting and notification options
• Historical measurement statistics (Maximum, Minimum, RMS, Median, Mean, Variance, Skewness, Kurtosis). Operated through the Analysis History task
• 3D Data View displaying first singular value of frequency domain spectral densities of measurements from different Analysis Sessions
• SHM Status Overview summarizing the current state as a traffic light (green: safe), (yellow: critical), and (red: unsafe)
